Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Cloghanarold had a lintel and two jambs until someone backfilled it and forgot to tell anyone. There’s a curse that only affects people who don’t wave hello when they pass. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.

Explorer Tom Designed landscape in Cloghanarold has a secret talent for disappearing from maps while sitting right on top of a ridge. It was a tree ring once, but now it’s just a circular patch of grass with attitude. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Wolfesburgess West has been levelled so much you’d need a magnifying glass to find it. The quarrying scar there is definitely not the remains, just a big hole, really. Get there early and have it all to yourself.

Explorer Tom Lisheen fort says a poet fell in its ditch and wrote a masterpiece about mud. The bank gets taller as it goes down, like it’s leaning into the drama. Count the crows, then count again.
